Pricing

When searching for a new kitten, you should consider the initial cost as an investment over the next 15-20+ years they will be a part of your family. It is not a decision to be taken lightly, and the phrase “you get what you pay for” is very true. I have heard countless stories of people who bought an inexpensive siamese that ended up developing serious health problems, costing their owners thousands of dollars in vet bills.

I firmly believe that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. I choose to invest in promoting optimal health in our kittens from the time of conception/birth, rather than cutting corners that would burden future owners with significant expenses to treat illness in a poorly bred kitten. We choose to spend more up front to raise your kitten properly so that you can save both money and heartache in the future.

I breed siamese because I love this breed and want to promote and preserve these wonderful companions. Our kittens are priced to offset the expenses I incur. These expenses are significantly higher for me (compared to other breeders) because I choose to breed responsibly and raise the kittens with the best care possible.

I have to take into account the following expenses associated with breeding cats (this is only a partial list):

FOOD:

A 15 lb bag of premium grain-free food costs me over $70.00 (compared to the same size of other brands for $15). Each can of wet food we buy costs about $3.00 (compared to the inferior brands that sell for .55 cents per can). That means my expenses for cat food are 5-6x times higher than average. An expectant mother cat will eat up to twice as much her usual meals during her pregnancy (~65 days) and up to three times as much while she is nursing kittens(~52 days). Kittens eat about the same amount of food as an adult cat.

LITTER:

One 24 lb bag of World’s Best litter costs around $35.00 (compared to generic clay litter that sells for $8 per bag). We go through 800-1000lbs of litter per month. Choosing to use only the highest quality natural litter means that we pay 5x times more than most breeders do, but we feel that it is worth the extra expense to keep our cats and kittens healthy.

HOUSING:

We share our spacious 6500 square foot home with our cats. They are raised underfoot with lots of frequent handling and socialization. We also built a 800+ square foot “cottage” for our stud males, which looks like a mini replica of our main house. It has heat/AC and is two stories tall with dormer windows on the second floor. The interior walls are lined with plastic for easy cleaning (male studs spray a lot!). Each stud has his own “apartment” within the cottage, and they love watching the wildlife from their windows. Our stud cottage was custom built in 2010 at a cost of $50,000.00.

A deposit of $500 is required in order to get on our waiting list. The balance is due at pick-up. Personal checks are accepted for initial deposits, but not at time of pick-up. Final payments at pick-up must be made as cash or certified bank check.

All-Inclusive pricing

The cost per kitten includes spay/neuter surgery, registration, deworming, digital photographs and/or movies of your kitten, vaccinations (if 12 weeks or older at time of sale), and a starter kit of wet/dry food and litter. Total all-inclusive cost is $1800 per kitten.

Breeding Responsibly

When you purchase a kitten from any ethical breeder, you are helping with some of the expenses so we can keep the breed going. Some call us hobby breeders, but in reality it is more of a passion. Anyone who has a passion for their hobby can tell you the costs are high, but the rewards are worth it.
